Its splices like this that give hand splicing a bad name and so everyone stays clear!!

 

There's no way i could of sent a splice out like that knowing that someone is going to be putting there life on it. For someone not as experienced as Rich this could of had really bad consequences.

 

Here's a pic of how they should look:biggrin:

actually i think rich is VERY experienced,,, just not at splicing, but fortunately he's used enough to know when it looks wrong..

 

old snake, you REALLY got to change your avatar... the combination of that photo and your name is worrying..

well i got me some piano wire - 20 gauge and 21.5 from my local pianist shop. 1.98 a metre. bargain. gonna have a go at a bit of edelrid timber blue this eve after I have the nipper in bed. gonna try and do a dog lead for my old mans gun dog.

 

what sort of splicing instructions do I need to follow. Any help appreciated.

 

thanking you.

[old snake]

The best instructions to follow are probably samsons. Brian toss has also got some vids up on youtube.

 

16 strand is quite easy its just the crossover where you might have some issues dont catch any strands or it can be a nightmare!! haha

Rich, good 16 strand video on here Donaghys Industries, Marine - Aquaculture Products – Manufacturers and Distributors, double braid video is very good also, just makes it look ridiculously simple and takes a lot of worry out of the process.

cheers carl and Had.

 

is it because the rope is old and worn that i am having trouble extracting the core? it looked so easy on the vid on the donaghy's site (checked it out last night).

 

which tool do you use...?

 

I nipped to homebase and bought a bradal, should i blunt it off a bit?

 

Thanking you once again.
